It's a pleasure to watch an adult American comedy that tries to deal with the real world, however much of a fantasy it carves from it.

Up in The AiR George Clooney, (as Rick Bingham) is uber suave and sexy, and at his best here, in this romantic tragi-comedy with wings. He's adorable, uncatchable, and oh so do-able in this fine flick. There's plenty of heart-tugging side stories to humanize the inhumanity of Rick's job as a cleaner for corporate cutbacks. He meets his female counter part in a sexy Vera Farmiga, (as Alex), who's also 'Up in The Air' as a fellow traveller in the skies. But the real scene stealer in this show is Anna Kendrick, (in one of her first big films), who tags along as a trainee to replace Rick, in a job that's being phased out by the future, and the corporate IT department. Irony is everywhere when Rick achieves his lifetime goal of joining the 'million-mile high' club smack in the middle of his own existential angst. It's very relatable for all of us on a corporate drone-track, who need to consider what's up in our own air, and how we want to play it. This film is a classic, maybe a little too mature for under 13's, but teens and adults alike will agree this flick has a lot to give - and its more than a cross-country trip!

Awesome movie! Wasn't really a comedy but a romantic drama pretty much. George Clooney plays a guy who doesn't want to settle down and found the perfect job to do so: flying around the country firing people and giving his speeches. Loved the ending. Kept it realistic.

My life in a Movie The first time I watched this was on a plane... and I almost cried because I was watching myself in a mirror... Now I understood that flying is such an important part of my life and beside the job you do you can call 'home' a stopover during a flight

So true As someone in the travel industry, this movie is the closest any film has gotten to really depicting how this lifestyle is (more so in the early years of this career). Not "A View From The Top", not " PanAm", no, this is pretty much it!

Great Film The minute I started watching this film, I thought wow, this is close to home for me. I travel a lot for work. I tend to live out of my suitcase. This film does a great job of capturing what that is like. I don't however travel around handing out pink slips. I train people on software. Still a ton of time in hotels and airports like in this movie. If anyone wants to know what life is like on the road, watch this film.

Stupid is as stupid does, says Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) as he discusses his relative level of intelligence with a stranger while waiting for a bus. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Gump leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century. Entirely without trying, Forrest teaches Elvis Presley to dance, becomes a football star, meets John F. Kennedy, serves with honor in Vietnam, meets Lyndon Johnson, speaks at an anti-war rally at the Washington Monument, hangs out with the Yippies, defeats the Chinese national team in table tennis, meets Richard Nixon, discovers the break-in at the Watergate, opens a profitable shrimping business, becomes an original investor in Apple Computers, and decides to run back and forth across the country for several years. Meanwhile, as the remarkable parade of his life goes by, Forrest never forgets Jenny (Robin Wright Penn), the girl he loved as a boy, who makes her own journey through the turbulence of the 1960s and 1970s that is far more troubled than the path Forrest happens upon. Featured alongside Tom Hanks are Sally Field as Forrest's mother, Gary Sinise as his commanding officer in Vietnam, Mykelti Williamson as his ill-fated Army buddy who is familiar with every recipe that involves shrimp, and the special effects artists whose digital magic place Forrest amidst a remarkable array of historical events and people.

Jane Austen might never have imagined that her 1816 novel Emma could be turned into a fresh and satirical look at ultra-rich teenagers in a Beverly Hills high school. Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), both named after "great singers of the past that now do infomercials," are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes and being as popular as possible. But Cher, who lives with her tough yet warm-hearted lawyer dad (Dan Hedaya) and hunky, sensitive stepbrother (Paul Rudd), also has an innate urge to help those less fortunate, like the two introverted teachers she brings together ("negotiating" herself improved grades in the process) and new friend Tai (Brittany Murphy), who starts out a geek and ends up a Cher prodigy. Cher also possesses her own sensitive side, and she is looking for the perfect boyfriend, whom she ends up finding where she least expected.

A clandestine love affair sends one man's charmed life into a tailspin in this dark, disturbing drama written and directed by Woody Allen, his first film set and shot in Great Britain and one his few films sans any humor. Chris Wilton (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) is an Irish tennis player with an impoverished background. Just accomplished enough to make his way onto the professional circuit, but not skilled enough to be a consistent winner, he now works as an instructor at a London tennis club. The wealthy Tom Hewett (Matthew Goode), who is as impressed by Chris's charm and good looks as he is by his game, takes a tennis lesson from the young man. Chris's intelligence and wit also make a strong impression on Tom's pretty sister, Chloe (Emily Mortimer), who soon falls for him. It isn't long before Chris and Chloe are engaged to be married, a match that pleases both Tom and his father, Alec (Brian Cox), a successful businessman who believes Chris has a bright future in his firm. However, Chris also feels an overwhelming attraction to Nola Rice (Scarlett Johansson), a sexy blonde from the United States who is dating Tom. Though Nola initially puts up some resistance, Chris gently nudges her in the direction of an affair. Passion soon ignites between the two, and they have a one-time sexual encounter, even as Chris and Chloe plan their wedding. Nola resists, however, when Chris makes additional attempts to wheedle her into bed. Nola drops out of Chris's life shortly before his wedding, but a chance meeting a few months later resurrects the relationship as Chris and Chloe try to start a family. Match Point received its world premiere in an enthusiastically received presentation at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.

This third film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic 1925 novel was one of the most hyped movies of the summer of 1974. Robert Redford stars as self-made millionaire Jay Gatsby, who uses his vast (and implicitly ill-gotten) fortune to buy his way into Long Island society. Most of all, Gatsby wants to win back the love of socialite Daisy Buchanan (Mia Farrow), now married to "old money" Tom Buchanan (Bruce Dern). Calmly observing the passing parade is Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston), Gatsby's best friend, who narrates the film. Francis Ford Coppola's screenplay is meticulously faithful to the original novel, but Theoni Aldridge's costume design and Nelson Riddle's nostalgic musical score won the film its only Oscars. The huge supporting cast includes Howard da Silva, who played Tom Wilson in the 1949 Great Gatsby, and a very young Patsy Kensit as Daisy's daughter.
